This week planning for our upgrade project began ..🏡

Ground testing was conducted this week for the new building, located at the beach end of our grounds.  This will be a nine classroom block and the architects have created some initial designs which our teachers were able to have a look at this week.  As a teaching team we are visiting schools with new spaces to learn from their experiences.  

This week our student redesign team presented the work they have done with our cultural advisor in creating a narrative for our unique place.  They presented this to our teaching team on Tuesday, who were very impressed.  Our students will now share this with all of our school students, parents and the Board of Trustees in the next few weeks.

This cultural narrative will be used to name our spaces, teams, and ultimately our inform our school name and logo.   Our students have embraced this process and are very excited about it.  Please take some time to engage with their work as this is a really exciting one-off opportunity to rebrand and reshape our future.

Please also note the article on our NZEI union meeting next week.  School will close at 12.30pm on Wednesday.  Thanks for your support in this and enjoy reading!  Have a great weekend whanau. 👍
